Hi, i've been posting on the eating disorder message board for quite a while, and i guess i never knew this board existed. I am 24 yrs old and live in Washington, DC. I am a recovering anorexic...i first got sick when i was 17. even though i've doing better for the last couple of years, for the past 6 -7 months i've been struggling with binge eating. i dont have much of a support network where i live, because i moved out here all by my self. my mom is bullimic, but we don't talk much...i've read some of the messages on this board, and you all seem to be a great source of support for one another. I hope I can contribute in some way to this board.

Hi Mia,


We're glad to have you join us and I hope you will find the support you are looking for here. And I am sure you will be contributing as well but it's not a requirement. :)


If you feel comfortable, can you share a little more about yourself? Are you doing anything in particular for recovery? It would be good for you to have a support system so maybe you could find some groups to go to like OA (www.overeatersanonymous.org) or EDA (www.eatingdisordersanonymous.org).


Let us know how we can help.

Love & hugs, Kristina
